Where should we send the results report?

We publish the anonymised, cross-industry findings back to everyone who takes part, so we need somewhere to send them. Your individual answers are never published or attributed — only aggregated figures are. Your progress is saved as you go, so you can come back and finish later.

Participation is voluntary, and your individual answers are only ever reported as anonymised aggregates. We need your contact details to send you the results report — lawful basis Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (a step taken at your request). Marketing follow-up is separate and optional, above. You may request deletion at any time — info@alleina.co.
